[quote=Anonymous]I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask about benefits - big picture items like health insurance copays, amount of leave, etc. when you interview seriously (so maybe not the first interview, but def. the 2nd or 3rd). I mean, how are you supposed to compare your offer at this company to another? And you should ask HR, not the hiring manager, since they'll be more familiar with the specifics. But it is necessary (and usually negotiable) information. Just having to pay 80% of your insurance copay would equal, for example, a $15k lower starting salary at another job that pays 100% of insurance premiums. You need apples to compare to other apples. Just like 6 weeks of paid maternity leave would have to be balanced by earning more or having other benefits at a company that only offers unpaid leave (like the govt).[/quote]
